Replaced the plugs (dbl plat autolites), wires (Magnecor), brakes pads and rotors, and installed a drop-in K&N cone filter. I have noticed that when I floor the gas pedal the engine responds fairly well but after a second or so it feels like a second gas pedal has been pushed and the car opens up. Why? Is this something I can correct? How? -Rob- 1998 Black SVT #460 K&N Cone Filter Magnecor Wires Alpine CDA-7892, Alpine 5x7 (4), Kicker Comp 10VR with Rockford amp.

Below 3900 RPM (normal acceleration) the secondaries remain closed to give more torque. Above this they open to give more air flow and power. Under wide open throttle situations (WOT) the secondaries open at 3400 RPM.

I'm considering taking the intake apart and cleaning using the how-to article. The car has never had that done. -Rob- 1998 Black SVT #460 K&N Cone Filter Magnecor Wires Alpine CDA-7892, Alpine 5x7 (4), Kicker Comp 10VR with Rockford amp.
